Trivia
Kishore Kumar apparently made Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, hoping it would fail commercially. He wanted to show losses in his income, and thus avoid paying a huge income tax to the authorities. So he made two films - Lookochuri (Bengali) and Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, and waited eagerly for them to collapse, However, both surprisingly went on to become box-office successes. Kumar was so disgusted with this that he gave Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi and all its rights to his secretary Anoop Sharma, who retained the copyright. The income tax case on Kishore Kumar was not solved even after forty years.

Goofs
When Renu is outside the garage in the rain in the beginning of the movie, the hand of a crew member can briefly be seen touching the wall and going back out.

Quotes
Renu: Who are you?
Manmohan 'Manu' Sharma: Don't you recognize me? You came to my garage last night. I repaired your car.
Renu: Oh yes!
Manmohan 'Manu' Sharma: Now give me my five rupees and twelve annas.
Renu: But how did you get in here?
Manmohan 'Manu' Sharma: You brought me along.
Renu: What?
Manmohan 'Manu' Sharma: I was sleeping in your car and you didn't even see me.
Renu: In my car? Have you lost your senses?
Manmohan 'Manu' Sharma: I'm not crazy, or I wouldn't be taking the trouble to collect five rupees and twelve annas.

Very well made movie

This is a three hour long light hearted story of three brothers. The film has a good storyline and is not a collection of comic situations. This has made the movie last these 60 years. The director stcks to the screenplay, the actors adhere to their director. The music lifts the movie A must watch.
